Title: BEAT STEP PRO AND MICROBRUTE
Post by: alejandra150 on May 04, 2015, 05:15:04 pm
Hi there! I have never had a step sequencer and I'm finding it confusing. I have been checking out the Beat Step Pro, I have a Microbrute which only has a MIDI IN, so

1- Would I be able to store the sequences that I write with the Microbrute in the Beat Step Pro? The Microbrute only has memory for 8 sequences and I need to store more

2- Would I be able to use the Microbrute as an external keyboard for the Beat Step Pro and change the sounds in real time?

3- Would I be able to play the sequences connecting Beat Step Pro to Microbrute MIDI IN to Microbrute Audio Out to DI box to PA when I play live?

Any help would be appreciated!

In a way yes. With MicroBrute control center you can export your sequence in a midi file. Then the BeatStep Pro will be able to record this midi file played from the computer.

2- Would I be able to use the Microbrute as an external keyboard for the Beat Step Pro and change the sounds in real time?
If you mean send Midi from the MicroBrute to the BeatStepPro the answer is no. The MicroBrute doesn't have any midi out.


3- Would I be able to play the sequences connecting Beat Step Pro to Microbrute MIDI IN to Microbrute Audio Out to DI box to PA when I play live?

Yes. You can connect BeatStepPro Midi out into MicroBrute Midi In and then connect your audio out to your DI.
